Chapter 639: Ocean's Tear? Nonsense!

"Vast Sea Universe Cover? What is that?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes in confusion after hearing Ning Fengzhi's words.

Qin Jian, however, smiled: "I came here specifically for it."

"You know about this Soul Guidance Device?"

Ning Fengzhi looked surprised: "That has always been enshrined by the Imperial Family as a national treasure."

"Yes, if possible, I would like to help Rongrong or Xiao Wu gain its recognition," Qin Jian nodded and said.

Heading to Sea God Island, his goal was only that Sea God Douluo; he had no interest in the Sea God Nine Trials.

But if he could help Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu raise their Assessment levels as much as possible, the benefits would surely be significant.

And this Vast Sea Universe Cover, or rather, the Sea God's Heart, was the key to that.

Hmm, Poseixi was his ninth heartbreak target.

Upon learning that the ninth one was her, Qin Jian also felt it was quite peculiar.

It was unexpected, yet within reason.

After all, Poseixi was truly one of the most outstanding women on the Douluo Plane; this was indisputable.

It was a bit strange that Na'er hadn't been chosen; perhaps it was because she had known about it long ago, or maybe the God Trial failed to detect her existence?

"Are you sure I'm not included?"

Na'er's voice suddenly rang out.

Ever since that moment of complete Fusion, Qin Jian's thoughts would be captured by Na'er if he wasn't careful...

"Isn't this the final link? It's confirmed to be that Sea God Douluo, Poseixi," Qin Jian said in his heart: "In that case, the nine people are already complete."

"There is one more after this; you are in the middle of the game and have overlooked it," Na'er said leisurely.

"Ah? Why would there be one more?" Qin Jian asked in astonishment.

"The traces of this Assessment are too heavy, as if it's covering up something. Anyway, trust me, there is one more after this; it's not just nine people," Na'er said.

Qin Jian's expression was somewhat strange: "You mean, that hidden breakup target... is you?"

"No, not a breakup target... um..."

Na'er's voice paused, then she suddenly said: "I don't want to talk about it anymore, go figure it out yourself!"

Qin Jian: "......"

"If you are not in a hurry, rest for a night first. Tomorrow, I will accompany you all to retrieve that Vast Sea Universe Cover," Ning Fengzhi said.

Qin Jian nodded and left together with Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought. Not long after, he opened the illustrated manual in his hand with a serious expression...

Gu Douluo, who was protecting them in secret: "......"

The next day.

Qin Jian brought Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, and together with Ning Fengzhi, they entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Treasury.

"This is the Vast Sea Universe Cover."

Ning Fengzhi pointed to the deep blue triangular object enshrined high up before them and smiled: "As a great national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, no one has ever been able to gain its recognition. You all should try it today."

Qin Jian stepped forward, wrapped it in soul power, and took the Vast Sea Universe Cover down.

"Hum!"

A soft, water-blue halo suddenly bloomed, illuminating the entire treasury into a blue world, dizzying and mesmerizing.

"How does one gain recognition for this thing?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously, looking at the Water Crystal triangle in Qin Jian's palm.

Ning Fengzhi said: "This Vast Sea Universe Cover is less of a Soul Guidance Device and more of a special soul bone; it also possesses unique skills, so..."

He looked at Qin Jian and said: "To subdue it, one must gain its recognition through Spirit Power. This requirement is extremely harsh; even I failed to succeed... Jian'er, you can try, but Rongrong and the others likely won't be able to."

Qin Jian pondered for a moment, then suddenly handed the Vast Sea Universe Cover to Ning Rongrong: "Rongrong, you try injecting your Spirit Power into it."

"No," Ning Fengzhi said in alarm, reaching out to stop her: "Even with my Spirit Power, I was injured in my Spirit by its backlash during my last attempt. If it were Rongrong, she might not recover for half a year!"

"It's fine, I have confidence," Qin Jian said with a faint smile.

Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned: "You really have confidence?"

If anyone else had said this, he certainly wouldn't have believed it, but coming from Qin Jian's guarantee, the weight was completely different.

That morning, he had already confirmed Qin Jian's current level.

A 20-year-old Title Douluo!

Such an existence was already beyond his comprehension.

"If it were you, I wouldn't worry at all, but Rongrong..." He hesitated.

Qin Jian then said: "Let Rongrong try. I'm not sure if she can gain recognition, but I can certainly guarantee that Rongrong's Spirit will not be harmed by the backlash."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and lowered his hand: "Rongrong, your Spirit Power output must be stable and continuous. Do not exert too much force, and do not break the flow halfway."

"Okay, I understand."

Ning Rongrong nodded solemnly.

She cautiously released her Spirit Power and probed into it.

But!

Just as a sliver of her Spirit Power was injected into the Vast Sea Universe Cover, she felt an indescribable, massive force suddenly bounce her Spirit Power back.

She fell backward while holding the Vast Sea Universe Cover, her mind going blank; she only felt as if something had smashed into her head.

"Hum hum!"

At this very moment, the foreheads of Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong suddenly lit up simultaneously with the radiance of the Ocean's Tear.

"So that's how it is!"

Ning Fengzhi's spirits lifted: "Spirit Power sharing, it will definitely succeed!"

Sss…

Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong's Spirit Power fused together, resisting the Vast Sea Universe Cover's attack in unison.

"Bang!"

Almost in the next instant, the Vast Sea power of the Vast Sea Universe Cover was crushed to pieces by Qin Jian's immense Spirit Power.

"Success!"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

But Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically: "Careful!"

Just at this moment, a faint light silhouette emerged upon the Vast Sea Universe Cover.

"Boom!"

The light silhouette's gaze stared fixedly at Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong's foreheads; the next moment, it suddenly flew into a rage, and Vast Sea power, more than ten times stronger than before, surged up again, pressing down toward Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong.

"Ocean's Tear?! Scoundrel!"

Amidst the furious voice, Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong's Spirit Power was like a lone boat on the ocean, liable to capsize at any moment.

"This is a strand of Divine Sense left behind by a god; if he is determined to finish you off, it will definitely damage your Spirit. Do you want me to intervene?" Na'er said quickly in his mind.

"No," Qin Jian said without hesitation: "This is Sea God Divine Sense; you must not intervene, lest you be detected."

"Then what will you do?" Na'er said.

Qin Jian felt the increasingly manic Vast Sea power, and suddenly, the light of Lovesick Heartbroken Red bloomed from his body.

The illusory Love Flower Martial Soul's First and Fifth Soul Skill underwent Fusion, and Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu appeared behind him, forming a triangular formation.

"Hum!"

The petals bloomed, and the three people's Spirit Power connected into one.

"This… you actually are…"

The Divine Sense silhouette's attack suddenly stalled.

"Boom!"

And just at this moment, the three people's Spirit Power suddenly counterattacked, instantly tearing a rift through that immense Vast Sea power.

"Hoo hoo…"

The three people's spirits relaxed, finally finding a chance to catch their breath.

The silhouette did not continue to attack, but instead appeared thoughtful: "You… have obtained the approval of the Ocean's Tear?"
